When Liu Yimin went to the pharmaceutical factory to concentrate on the development of streptomycin, it was the time when our army in northern Jiangsu launched the Caodian Campaign, eliminated Han Deqin's main force, and won the decisive battle of Huangqiao. ，

Liu Yimin once led a large army to the south of the Jiangsu-Anhui region twice, created a base area in the Suzhou-Anhui border region, built a garrison brigade in northeastern Anhui with all Japanese-style equipment and a large number of local armed forces, and left the three main forces of the new third brigade, the new seventh brigade, and the northern Jiangsu detachment under the command of Liu and Chen. Moreover, when Liu Yimin left the Suzhou-Anhui border area, he repeatedly warned Liu and Chen to unite with Han Deqin's department to persist in resisting Japan, and also warned Han Deqin not to do things that are happy to relatives and enemies, and to unite and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to jointly create a new situation of resistance against Japan in Jiangsu and Anhui.

In Liu Yimin's mind, history has changed so much, Han Deqin should be able to see clearly that he is not the opponent of our army in northern Jiangsu at all, and it is impossible to attack our army under normal circumstances, and the premise of the Caodian Battle no longer exists, so he went to the laboratory of the pharmaceutical factory and devoted himself to developing the life-and-death streptomycin and plague vaccines and cholera vaccines.

What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that the strength of our army in Su and Anhui had grown, and the strength of Han Deqin's department had also been restored when our army was fighting against the Japanese army with all its might. Han Deqin is also a person who only has Chairman Jiang in his eyes, and he obeys Chairman Jiang's orders, and he will beat whoever Chairman Jiang tells him to beat. Moreover, because Yu Xuezhong's troops in the Sulu Theater left Shandong and withdrew to the Henan-Anhui Border Region, relying on each other with the troops in the Dabie Mountains in the Fifth Theater, and strengthening the strength of the troops in the Henan-Anhui Border Region, to a large extent, the Peng Xuefeng Division of the Fifth Detachment of the New Fourth Army and the Zhang Aiping Northeast Garrison Brigade of Zhang Aiping, which supported each other with Peng Xuefeng's Division, and because of the Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression of our army in Shandong, it swept northern Jiangsu by means of a surprise attack, and the strength of our army in northern Jiangsu was damaged. The main force of the New Fourth Army had to jump out of the base area to fight mobile operations under the attack of the Japanese army, and its strength was weakened, and the opportunity to seize the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army and restore the rule of the Jiangsu Provincial Government over northern Jiangsu had come.

In view of the failure to capture Xi'an in the first time, the decision-makers of the Nationalist Government were worried about the development and growth of the army and were anxious to restrict the development of the army. In July, when the Japanese army was besieging the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central and southern Shandong, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi, chief of staff of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, made a "central reminder case." In this prompt case, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi proposed to abolish the Jicha Theater and bring the original Jicha Theater defense area and armed forces under the command of the Second Theater; abolish the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Economic Zone and restore the Shaanxi Provincial Government; The main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were reorganized into three armies and eight divisions of 100,000 people, and all of them were ordered to concentrate on the two provinces of Jicha and Luxi and Lubei within one month, and no cross-border operations were allowed thereafter; ** The local political power that has been developed will be abolished, and the local armed forces will be unified and reorganized in the Second Theater.

The Liu Yimin Department of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong had previously been revoked by the Military Commission and ordered to return to Shaanxi to be organized as a local security force and undertake the task of river defense. Liu Yimin's refusal to carry out the order of the Military Commission to withdraw to Shaanxi is tantamount to a rebel army, according to common sense, it should be resolutely exterminated, but it is a pity that the main force has long been out of reach of Liu Yimin's whip commander, and Liu Yimin's department has made great achievements, and it also has the role of containing the main force of the Japanese army.

The purpose of this suggestion is extremely sinister, and it is to downsize the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army on a large scale, completely abolish the local political power established by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and turn the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army into field armies without base areas and rootlessness. Therefore, it was rejected by ** of course.

However, the message conveyed by Ho and Bai's "Central Committee's Reminder Bill" is very clear, that is, the Kuomintang and the Nationalist Government are resolute in their determination to resolve the problem of different parties and their policies are the same. This provides a basis for the second ****.

At this time, it coincided with the main force of the New Fourth Army crossing the river to the north. Chen Yuntai's troops of Han Deqin's Department, which had escaped the Japanese sweep and regained control of Rugao and Jiangyan, immediately intercepted a detachment of the New Fourth Army to the north by force. It's all an army with a gun in their hands, Chen Yuntai took the initiative to attack, and he couldn't let the New Fourth Army team stand there motionless as Chen Yuntai's target, right? The two sides exchanged fire in the vicinity of Jiangyan and Huangqiao. Thinking about Chen Yuntai, where will he be the opponent of Su Yu, the first general in history! Chen Yuntai, who was well-equipped and had 20,000 or 30,000 people, was beaten by Su Yu with fewer victories and lost Jiang Yan and Huangqiao. That's it, Su Yu stood in the perspective of uniting the War of Resistance, did not kill Chen Yuntai's troops, and had no intention of expanding the results of the war. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will invite Chen Yuntai to Su Yu's headquarters for tea.

After the battle, in order to unite Han Deqin and Chen Yuntai to resist the Japanese, Liu and Chen instructed Su Yu and Guan Wenwei to take the initiative to abandon Jiangyan and establish a base in the Huangqiao area.

With the support of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee's policy of preventing the Communist Party and limiting the Communist Party, and the spirit of resolutely restricting the development of the Communist Party of China and the "Central Reminder Case" of He and Bai, there are Li Pinxian of the Fifth Theater and Yu Xuezhong of the Sulu Theater to respond and contain it, and Liu Yimin's Department of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong is fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, and he has no time to take into account the situation in northern Jiangsu.

Objectively speaking, Han Deqin also had to do it as a last resort.

The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army established base areas behind enemy lines and built anti-Japanese democratic regimes in order to lead the people behind enemy lines to persist in the War of Resistance. But in the eyes of the Kuomintang, it is to undermine national unity and violate government and military orders. According to the point of view in an article written by a reporter of the Central News Agency, it is a country within a country, using the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to expand its strength, and destroying the situation of national reunification that was finally formed at the end of the Northern Expedition. As chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, Han Deqin naturally has the responsibility to defend the territory, and of course he has to fight the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which established base areas without his consent.

These guys completely ignored the fact that the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were recaptured from the Japanese army after a bloody battle, and the typical Empress Dowager Cixi mentality of "rather with outsiders than with domestic slaves".

Han Deqin knew in his heart that the New Third Brigade and the New Seventh Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in northern Jiangsu were the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, and he could not afford to provoke them, and he remembered the lessons of the Tanggou incident very clearly. However, Guan Wenwei's troops from the north and south of the Yangtze River are local anti-Japanese forces, which belong to the sequence of a detachment of the New Fourth Army, and they scare people under the brand of Jiang Kang. Guan Wenwei's department and Liu Yimin's department belong to different systems, and if they dare not fight the new third brigade and the new seventh brigade of Liu Yimin's department, it does not mean that they cannot fight the new fourth army team!

Han Deqin concentrated his main force and pounced on Huangqiao, wanting to wipe out the New Fourth Army, which only had seven or eight thousand men in one fell swoop. As a result, Han Deqin sent more troops than in history, and suffered a worse defeat. If it weren't for the unity of the War of Resistance, maybe Liu and Chen would have taken advantage of the situation to completely wipe out all of Han Deqin's armed forces in northern Jiangsu.

In fact, our army was forced to launch the decisive battle of Huangqiao. At this time, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army was still in southern Anhui, and Liu and Chen fought Han Deqin in northern Jiangsu, which was likely to cause the Kuomintang to retaliate against the military headquarters and main force of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. Xiang Ying sent a report to the central authorities, asking for instructions on whether he could wait for the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army to cross the river and go north before launching a campaign against Han Deqin. It's a pity that Han Deqin wants to fight, and our army has to fight. At the same time, because Liu Yimin's troops successfully defended themselves in the Linyi Incident, eliminated Zhang Liyuan's main force, severely damaged the Wuhua Ministry of Culture, and swept away the Sulu Theater, the Shanxi Eighth Route Army captured Zhu Huaibing alive in the anti-friction campaign, and the main force of the Shanxi New Army in the Jinxi Incident was successfully incorporated into the Eighth Route Army, and after repelling the ** attack on the Shaanxi base area, Chiang Kai-shek did not make any further moves, and the central government made a wrong judgment, believing that if Han Deqin took the initiative to attack, Chiang Kai-shek would not take the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. It was under these circumstances that the decisive battle of the Yellow Bridge took place.

Thanks to Liu Yimin's efforts, the contradictions between Ye Ting and Xiang Ying of the New Fourth Army caused by their command rights were significantly alleviated, and Xiang Ying himself also gave clear consideration to the issue of the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui crossing the river to the north. However, both the central authorities and Liu Yimin demanded that the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army move north as soon as possible, cross the river to the north, and direct the development of the base areas in the Suzhou-Anhui border region in the north of the Yangtze River, and did not explicitly order the complete abandonment of the base areas of the New Fourth Army in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiang Ying was also waiting for the final order from the central government.

As soon as the decisive battle of Huangqiao was over, Chiang Kai-shek instructed He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi to send a telegram to Zhu and Peng of the Eighth Route Army and Ye Ting of the New Fourth Army in the name of the Military Commission on 9 October, saying that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were attacking friendly forces in central China and undermining the unity of the War of Resistance, and that if they were replaced by other troops, they would be resolutely resolved by force. In consideration of the special situation of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army south of the Yellow River were ordered to drive north of the Yellow River within one month.

Han Deqin was justified in fighting the New Fourth Army, and the New Fourth Army was guilty of self-defense and counterattack. Han Deqin is justified in hiding in a corner of northern Jiangsu, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are guilty of resolutely resisting Japan and opening up base areas behind enemy lines! How can the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army implement such military orders and government orders?

But Ho and Bai's telegram was in fact an ultimatum. The central authorities attached great importance to it, and after careful study, they sent a telegram back to He and Bai, refuting the Kuomintang's slander against the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army and politely rejecting the request to withdraw the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in Central China to the north of the Yellow River. However, in order to maintain unity in the War of Resistance, the central government agreed to move the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui to the north of the Yangtze River.

To tell the truth, from a strategic point of view, the central authorities not only took into account the security of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui and carried out the retreat to the north, but also were reluctant to give up the strategic fulcrum in southern Anhui, and also thought of resolving the problem through negotiations.

This is the origin of Cai Zhong's telling Liu Yimin that the Central Committee is engaged in a war of words with Chiang Kai-shek.

On 14 November, because the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in Central China did not carry out the order issued by He and Bai in the name of the Central Military Commission to withdraw to the north of the Yellow River within a month, the Central Military Commission immediately formulated the "Plan for Exterminating the Bandit Army South of the Yellow River" and the "Plan for Resolving the New Fourth Army in the South of the Yangtze River."

Among them, the "Plan to Exterminate the Bandit Army South of the Yellow River" is actually a deceptive talk, and the main force of Liu Yimin's department is also fighting south of the Yellow River, so let's try to solve it?

To be precise, due to the appearance of Liu Yimin, Chiang Kai-shek did not blow up the Huayuankou, the Yellow River was not diverted, and the plan of the Military Commission should be to solve the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army south of Longhai Road.

On December 7, two months after the victory in the decisive battle of Huangqiao, Chiang Kai-shek secretly issued the battle plan of the Military Commission, ordering the troops of the Third Theater to completely eliminate the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan by the end of January 1941, and march into northern Jiangsu to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek transferred the Tang Enbo Division of the Mobile Corps directly under the Military Commission, which had just completed the combat mission of the Zaoyi Battle, to eastern Henan, and cooperated with the Li Pinxian Division of the Fifth Theater of Dabie Mountain and the Yu Xuezhong Department of the Sulu Theater to concentrate more than 200,000 troops to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army south of the Longhai Road.

The sword was unsheathed here, and He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi also pretended to send a report to Zhu and Peng of the Eighth Route Army and Ye Ting of the New Fourth Army again on December 8, urging the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to withdraw to the north of the Yellow River before December 31, pretending to be a good man who mediated conflicts and disputes. Immediately afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek issued another order to Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, on December 10, pointing out that if the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui did not move north before December 31, it should be resolved immediately and no longer tolerant.

Gu Zhutong immediately mobilized more than 80,000 troops from seven divisions, appointed Shangguan Yunxiang, commander-in-chief of the 31st Group Army, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and set up ambush positions in the areas of Maolin and Jingxian in southern Anhui.

The reason why Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang set up ambush positions south of the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army was because the Kuomintang newspapers kept reporting the news that the New Fourth Army was about to move northward, and the Japanese army had blocked the Yangtze River defense line for the New Fourth Army to the north, and it was impossible for the New Fourth Army to cross the river and go north through the Tongling area. The Japanese army will eliminate the main force of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui that is trying to cross the river to the north.

Since then, the third theater has formed a large net against the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, waiting for Ye Ting and Xiang Ying to lead the troops to jump into the trap.

Only then did the central authorities realize the seriousness of the problem, and immediately instructed the military and civilians in all base areas to urgently mobilize and be vigilant against the Kuomintang launching an attack by diehards.

At this time, Ye and Xiang also realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to carry out the central government's order to cross the river and go north. However, the investigation showed that the road from Tongling to the north was blocked by the Japanese army, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army had been operating in southern Anhui for a long time, and the logistics organs were huge. In this way, the time is delayed.

The New Fourth Army in southern Anhui is in danger!

At this time, Liu Yimin, secretary of the Shandong Bureau, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and legendary hero of our army, completed the development of streptomycin, plague vaccine, and cholera vaccine, and returned to the headquarters of the Dadian Military Region.
